Dear Readers, I want to share with you one of the issues I come up against while writing these reviews. How much of the story to tell you. Especially with shows such as “Sanctuary City” by Martyna Majok, currently playing at the Seattle Rep, I want you to experience it somewhat blind, and let this brilliantly layered show unfold and wash over you the same way it did for me. But I want to tell you what it’s about. So, I’ll do my best and still try to avoid the spoilers.

In keeping with their commitment to provocative, original work, Wellfleet's Harbor Stage Company proudly presents the premiere of The Deer and the Antelope, a new dark comedy about law and disorder.

Penned by company co-founder Brenda Withers, the piece offers a sideways glance at public safety, personal responsibility, and the hidden costs of making a living.

Following the success of their powerful season opener, The Weir, Wellfleet's Harbor Stage Company, continues their seventh intrepid season with Edward Albee's tempestuous masterpiece, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

When Albee's iconic George and Martha invite a young couple over for a late-night, liquor-infused house party, a fierce battle for truth and power unfolds.

The setup would make a hell of a piece of theatrically-minded erotica.
